My hunch is -- I haven't counted -- there are more negative words in the
English language than positive ones. Nothing wrong with that, though. We
use language to describe the world, and we often talk about things that
are unusual, out of the ordinary.

It's somewhat similar to newspapers. Some say that they mention only bad
news, but that's the job of newspapers: to report what is not the norm.

This week's words are all negative. These words will be especially handy
to describe your opponent if you are thinking about contesting an election.
